    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, having said all those nice things about the nominees, it is now my pleasure and duty to request this House that pursuant to provisions of Article 155(3) of our Constitution, the Committee recommends to this House to approve the following nominees to the President for appointment: 1. Mr. James Teko Lopoyetum – Department of Water in the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources 2. Mr. Richard Lerisian Lesiyampe – Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Ministry of Environment, Water and Mineral Resources and, 3. Amb. Dr. Richard Titus Ekai in the Ministry of Mining. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you will note that all our nominees seem to come from the marginalised areas of this country and it is very clear from the quality of persons that His Excellency the President has nominated for appointment that there is no region in this country that does not have qualified people to take up these high appointments. We are very pleased with the calibre of persons that were presented before us and we were very happy that they have been able to be given this opportunity to serve. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the office of the Clerk and that of the Speaker for the logistical support provided to the Committee. Secondly, I would like to thank my Committee members for the hard work they have put in but most importantly for the bipartisan approach they have taken towards this work. On that note, I would like to ask hon. Opiyo Wandayi, the hon. Member from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party to second this Motion. Thank you."
